Abstract
How might variation in genomic regions that impact many traits modulate fitness across different life stages? Aykanat et al. (2024) show that two large-effect loci associated with age at maturity, six6 and vgll3, impact the survival of wild Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) through nutrient-dependent, indirect genetic effects. Specifically, the late maturation allele in parental vgll3, and the early maturation allele in maternal six6, increase survival in early life under high nutrient conditions.
